New FastSM Release: latest

Prevent multiple concurrent audio play attempts

Users could spam the play button while audio was extracting/loading,
causing multiple audio streams that couldn't all be stopped. Now
shows "Already loading audio" if play is attempted while a previous
play is still in progress.
